Cringoed Caravan Park

On your marks, get set, and CrinGOed to this friendly, family-orientated camping and caravan park sitting pretty in the mid-Wales countryside.

Escape to Cringoed Caravan Park, not far from Machynlleth (which was once the capital of Wales, don’t you know?), where the whole family will find something to make for a memorable holiday. And at under an hour’s drive away from the Welsh coast - you’ll be able to hear the beach beckoning as soon as you arrive...

A warm welcome from the owners awaits: they've been working hard for 13 years to perfect this family-run gem, leading to a well laid-out park has a level touring field set against stunning woods where touring and camping guests can pick just where they want to settle. Spotless pods and fully-equipped holiday homes will keep glampers gleaming too.

Comfort is the name of the game here. Hot showers and electric hook-up is available as are dishwashing facilities, a laundry, chemical disposal point and access to wifi.

Kidlings will enjoy the play area and games room, which we’re sure the adults won’t be able to resist either, and there’s even the chance to don your whites and try a swift knockaround with tennis also available on site. Well, it wouldn’t be a family holiday without spot of healthy competition, would it...? Dogs are allowed all year round too, so be sure to bring the pooch along to adjudicate.

Stables and a small brook close to the site also provide little nature lovers with plenty to see out and about, perfect for dousing them with a plentiful helping of fresh air and seeing that they can’t avoid a good night’s kip.

Cringoed is at the gateway to Snowdonia, not far from the sea and the Cambrian Mountains, yet conveniently placed near to a myriad of main roads which makes exploring the surrounding area as relaxing as staying put on site.

One mile away you’ll find the village of Llanbrynmair with its convenience store and homely pub and just over 20 minutes away by car you’ll reach the slightly larger Machynlleth where you can stock up on all the essentials. After the mooching, coffee, cake and a good cask ale are surely in order and the cafés and pubs will be sure to serve your every holiday need. For a different kind of round, there’s a golf course too.

The Centre for Alternative Technology has made its home just on the outskirts of the town, so nip by there to pick up tips about green living from the best - and the interactive displays provide plenty to occupy little hands (and even feet).

For those in need of a fix of shopping, dining or maybe just a trip to the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth is about an hour’s drive south.

Join the Glyndŵr's Way nature trail from the site. From farmland to moorland, forests to lakes and reservoirs - you can explore the best of the Welsh countryside and get your fill of cultural and natural history as you follow the footsteps of Owain Glyndŵr. The hefty footpath runs for 135 miles - but for those (possibly many) who don’t fancy tackling the entire thing, stretches of it provide a challenging enough hike. For walkers wanting more, Snowdonia is also within easy reach.

Kids agitating for an adventure? Let off some steam at the Corris Railway - a day out here will be packed with more than enough factoids for them to choo through. First stop; the museum, then experience history in action on an impressive steam locomotive trip along the first narrow gauge railway in mid-Wales. Just check before you go for departure times and to find out which steam-haul services will be operating.

Day trip options are in abundance. Twitchers - check out the Red Kite Centre which is a 40-minute drive away and is a great conservation site where you can enjoy fantastic sights of some of our most stunning feathery friends.

Prefer more sea than sky? Aberdovey (also 40 minutes by car) has watersports from the high octane to the high relaxing - sailing, rowing, canoeing, fishing… take your pick. The award-winning beaches are ideal for those perfecting the art of spectating too.

Barmouth harbour, just under an hour to the west, also offers uncrowded beaches for you to take up your spot in the sunshine.

Liked: Just got back from staying at cringoed me and my girlfriend booked the weekend in one of there wooden huts. They were very clean and I have no downsides about the camp or the owners I would definately recommend this site to other and will be staying here again :)

Disliked: Quite remote, but that is purely a personal view because I was visiting relatives in Machynlleth.

From the manager...

Hi Ian,

Many thanks for your review,

As you rightly say you only used our site as a stop over, so a little puzzled as to why you should score activities/facilities as just an 8.

We are just a mile of the main road from Newtown to Machynlleth, an open question is really how people define remote. Far from remote we are in east commuting distance from all points in Mid-Wales, within less than hours drive you could be on seven beaches or in the middle of Snowdonia or the Brecons,... Hardly remote...more perfect location.

Between ourselves and Machynlleth these just one caravan club site without any facilities, who's guests often call here to appreciate our facilities.

Hope to see you again to appreciate the location,Paul, Sue and Louise

Liked: Great little site nice and clean very well maintained . Great to access walks etc. pod was spotless had a great short break

Liked: The cleanliness of the site and had good facilities; my 7 year old daughter loved the playground and football pitch. Plenty of room with the tent pitch and the whole site simply had a great feel about it. Surrounded by rolling hills and mountains it was lovely to wake up to these stunning views and the gentle sound of sheep and lambs in a neighbouring field.

Location was good as Brecon Beacons and Snowdon within reach and plenty of other great places if you didn't want to travel so far.

A shop and pub in the village which served good pub food and were very welcoming.

Great first visit to Wales with the family and will definitely be back.

Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The location was good, the campsite itself was very well kept and picturesque and the pod was the perfect size for two people. We have done a lot of camping over the years and decided to try something a bit different (and easier) and chose one of the two pods available at Cringoed and we were glad we did. Although they are relatively small inside you have a comfortable bed, a table with two chairs, a kettle and use of a microwave. Decking area with a large picnic table outside with another barbeque area close by.The owner was very helpful and friendly and was very soon on hand to dispose of a small wasps nest that we soon discovered under the decking. The campsite is very clean and tidy including the very adequate shower block and washing areas.Excellent place and very good value for money. We shall return.Pete and Dawn.

Booking as a group?

You can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on Pitchup.com.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.

Use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together when booking multiple pitches: the campsite or park will try to grant your request.

Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.

Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.
